Summary
"With a mix of kitchen staple recipes, beginner cooking advice, and exaggerated — and frankly libellous — anecdotes, Mary Quinn (mother of mediocre, and over-hyped, Michelin Star chef Anna Quinn) serves up a passable debut cookbook.
In this humble reviewer's expert opinion, it is somewhat recommended if you have absolutely no idea on the basics, but otherwise expect to see this publication in the reduced section soon."

Ingredients:
- 1 English eejit with anxiety
- 1 Northern Irish dose with an overinflated ego
- 1 overworked and underappreciated housewife
Method:
- Mix all ingredients together and simmer over the course of a couple of years, then serve in whatever form the eejit and dose end up in.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of additional pack animals, overbearing (grand)fathers, and hero-worshipping daughters/sisters.

Summary
“You’re never going to find a better man for you than your not-boyfriend, so make a fucking move already; he’s a modern-day knight in shining armour, even if he does have the general profile of an upturned mop, and quite frankly everyone is getting tired of you two dancing around each other. It’s his birthday next month, so give him a good present.”
Erin takes some sisterly advice to heart on her housemate James' birthday. Suffice to say, events ensue

Summary
"Of course you go! Don't you see how class this is? I mean, Christ, but she's trapped herself with this one. Here's what you've gotta do: you're gonna show up with a total ride as your date and eat all their posh food and drink everything, and rub it right in her face how happy you are."
___The disastrous idea that James might actually attend his ex-girlfriend’s wedding isn’t any less disastrous just because Erin agrees to accompany him, but it is infinitely more appealing. Besides total humiliation, supreme abjection, and heaps of arrested development, what’s the worst that could happen? You never know – maybe it might be fun.

Where everything's the same but they do college theatre.

Summary
Saoirse came forward and placed a hand on her forehead without hesitation. The touch was gentle, warm and unwelcome from a total stranger. Erin jerked away from the unfamiliar hand, hissing out a curse under her breath at the pain inside her head. “Don’t… don’t touch me.”
“You truly are sick. Ach, poor critter...” Saoirse breathed softly, a pitying gaze locked on hers that made her feel downright judged.
Erin was sick and she knew it, sick in a way she’d never felt before. That didn’t mean she just forgot an entire cousin.

Summary
He’s only known Erin for about four hours when he starts feeling kind of sorry for this David Donnelly fellow she keeps going on about. She’s hardly talked about anything else. Even Michelle – Michelle – thinks it’s too much, and that’s saying something.
___Four times James thought it would never work with Erin and the one time it did.
